Big Island Surf Forecast

Hilo side: Surf heights are expected to be knee/waist high today. The best spots could get a bit bigger on the sets.

Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be ankle/knee high today. Many spots will be flat.

South: Wave heights are expected to be ankle/knee high today. Many spots will be flat.

Trade wind swell continues but is jumbled and messy.

Our current mix of southerly swells is still slowly fading. Nothing significant is expected out of the South Pacific in the near term. A small south-southeast swell is forecast to fill in Friday around knee/waist high.

Nothing significant expected out of the North Pacific.

Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
